APAD 179: Blooming and balancing…

… the cans. You don’t even know what this “thing” is from a distance. This is the back side. Hidden behind the pile of cans strung together, is a man, in his 40s, and driving a motorcycle. It’s a dangerous job collecting these cans. The driver himself could not see what’s following behind him. And the others could not see what is this moving “thing”, what was in front or where the driver is if you don’t get closer to it. Takes a lot of balancing act and presence of mind and nerves of steel to be able to drive on these roads. I just pray that this can collector go through his daily rounds safely each day.

This is actually an old photo I took some years ago while on a research activity in Kep. As you can see in the watermakr, it was posted in my other blog.
